Too Much Carbs- High Glycemic…
The secret to having a consistent glucose and insulin level in your body is making sure you don't spike those levels by eating too much high-glycemic carbohydrates... especially alone (without a fat or protein source). Stay away from pastas, potatoes and sugary foods. Not only do they spike insulin, making your body more resistant to your own over time, they also add fat to your body and make you tired and grouchy later on.
It is, however, important to choose carbohydrates that are good for you. These are classified as Low Glycemic Carbohydrates because simply put, if you don’t, there is an exceedingly unfavorable chance you will end up being one of the millions that are diagnosed with the all too commonly known disease ‘diabetes’. This disease has had an astounding growth of 600% increase in just the last generation alone. If you prize your health and not having to worry about shooting yourself with insulin or letting a disease control your day to day activity, then I strongly suggest, that you take note and and choose from my list of good carbs (below) each time you eat. Include fiber consistently.
Too Little Carbs…
If carbohydrate intake is completely restricted, your body will actually start to use its stored fat for energy (ketosis)… thus the popularity of the Atkins and other diets promoting little to no carbohydrate intake. But let’s face it, who can live a life without carbs? Once you start to introduce the wrong kinds back into your diet, the weight comes on faster than it went off. Eventually, by restricting your body from carbohydrate (energy) ketosis results and leaves an unhealthy amount of acids, as an acid residue, throughout your blood stream (ketoacidosis). Who wants that?
Other side effects are:
- Tiredness and fatigue
- Headache
- Prolonged Thirst
- Bad Breath
- Weakness
- Nausea and Stomach Ache
- Dizziness
- Poor circulation
- Trouble sleeping
- Metallic taste in mouth
- Lack of vitamins & minerals

Some Tips...
- Eat often - about every three hours even if you aren't hungry. Yes, the shake is considered eating. ;-)
- Timing~ Make sure you start a program you when you can implement and plan your meals. They are very simple, but don't try to start when you know you will be traveling out of town and tempted by eating out with friends.
- Don't stop. Making this change to your diet for only 5-7 days is simple. After that time it should be easy to stick to your new menu probably because of How YOU LOOK and How YOU FEEL.
- Make a committment to continue on a lifelong health plan, not just a quick fix week.
- Gradually add some protein and keep making proactive approaches to your health.
